Valve adjustment
How often do you need to get this done. What sort of intervals??I am debating if I need to get my valves adjusted I got them adjusted at 98,000 now there is 112,000 on the odometer. I am going to sell the car and was thinking about getting this done before I sell it.

Eh, these days, with the economy and all, I'd say "screw it" the car will be for sale...if you keep decent records and show the next potential owner that you had a valve adjustment at 98K - I'm sure they'd be satisfied...not like you're going to get more $$$$$$$ for the sale because of a valve adjustment, but who knows?

Don't do it. Tell the seller it is due, and show that the car does go between adjustments and run fine. Also, the new buyer might be DIY and prefer to do it him/herself.

Jeff is right: I wouldn't spend another dime if the car to be sold since you'll not recover any of that expense.
FWIW, let the next owner have a PPI done (at the shop of THEIR choice),....
